The Presidency of the Council of the EU has issued an  “I” item note asking the Permanent Representatives Committee (COREPER) to endorse the final compromise texts of the proposed Directive to amend and replace the Third Money Laundering Directive and the proposed Regulation to amend and replace the Regulation on information on the payer accompanying transfer of funds.

COREPER is also invited to approve in principle the submission of these final compromise texts as “I/A” items at a later date, firstly for political agreement and subsequently for their adoption as the Council’s first-reading positions.
